Naomi Osaka and Emma Raducanu didn’t win 20 slams (yet?). However, on Instagram, in terms of popularity, they are the most followed players soon after Serena Williams, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic.
It’s interesting to notice that Emma Raducanu already has 2.3 million followers even if she started to become popular less than 1 year ago when she reached the second week in Wimbledon. Things accelerated even more for the British sensation when she conquered a historic US Open later in September.
